I start by sterilizing all my bottles,utensils, and everything else i will be using with 70% alcohol. I use distilled water and put it into a canning jar, I mix my almond oil, cocoa butter, stearic acid, emulsifying wax, and vit. E oil. I put them into another canning jar. I have a water bath that I temp at 180 degrees i put both water and oil into canner and set timer for 25 min. I remove oil and water and let cool to about 125ish, then put Optiphen and scent in. mix well in bowl continue to mix every few minutes until it is completely cool and thickened. I then put my lotion into my bottles. this is the part I cant figure out... i keep getting moisture in my glass lotion bottle after I've got it all done and on the counter!!!!! by the way I wear a hair net and lab coat also keeping a the widows shut to prevent contamination of any sort. What in the world am I doing wrong????

Your containers should come clean from the vendor or manufacturer. I don't do anything with my containers.
Technically, you can't sterilize as that requires high heat or harsh chemicals.
If you are getting moisture in your bottles after you pour them, then
A: you are pouring too hot
B: you are not letting the product cool off completely
C: you are using an alcohol spray. Alcohol contains water and can create condensation in your bottles.

I put my lotion bottles in the refrigerator after I pour them with the caps off.

I make fairly large batches at a time. I prefer to pour directly into the bottles while the lotion is still warm to help prevent bubbles inside.
I have used the Ziploc bag method on occasion, but the lotion was a couple of days old. Either way, I don't get condensation on the bottles.
Maybe it's the type of bottles you are using?
Is the lotion cold in the Ziploc bag?

The problem with condensation is that it's just water (or a water based liquid) and it has no preservative. This can contaminate your lotion as the condensation drips back down into the top of the lotion. My lotion is in 1 oz., 4 oz. and 8 ozs. clear PET bullet bottles with a dispensing cap. I no longer use lotion pumps. Lotion pumps take up space inside the bottle and less product will fit into the bottle. My 8 oz. lotion bottles will fit 8.5 ozs. of lotion.
